I finished the 30 Day Happiness Challenge almost a week ago. Since then, I’ve been casually doing the daily tasks and thinking about how nice it is to not have to make sure I get them all done in time to write about them. That part is a small relief, but I also appreciate the […]

This is sort of a hybrid post, one in which I discuss a slight change in my posting schedule, the blog contents, and the 30 Day Happiness Challenge. I’m going to change from an every day schedule to an every weekday schedule. I debated it for a while, wondering if changing at this point would […]

YouTube is different. Or, the videos on YouTube are different. At least, the videos I watch on YouTube are starting to change. A few weeks ago, I noticed a new addition in several of the YouTube channels I watch. A mention of something called Patreon. What is Patreon? From what I have seen, Patreon is […]

I did do a typing test today. I just decided not to post it for a few reasons. For one, I realized that typing speed was starting to carry too much weight for me. Or maybe it was always carrying too much weight, and it just became more apparent this week. I know this because […]

I was listening to an older episode of The One You Feed, and the guest, Randy Scott Hyde, was discussing his 30 Day Happiness Experiment. In the middle of a deep depression initiated by the death of his grandmother, Hyde found himself with a growing emptiness he refers to as his “soul hole.” After struggling […]

There’s an announcement at the end of this post about the week in review and the 5 Karate Moves to Success. You should check it out if you read these. If you don’t, then obviously none of these sentences matter. To you. Here’s how I’ve done this week in achieving success via the Johnny Karate […]

I was pleased when I first saw my typing test results for this week. I broke 20 wpm. I broke into average. But then I remembered that it has been two weeks since my last test, which means my pace hasn’t picked up much. I guess I have been feeling a little more comfortable with […]

This feels like the end of a very long week, mostly a good long though. That means it’s time to see how well I followed the Five Karate Moves to Success. I decided to restrict this week’s review to just one day: yesterday, the day of the baby shower. Let’s call it a theme. I […]

I want to keep this one short. I’m also thinking I might change these to bi-weekly reports since there likely won’t be a lot to say every week (unless the masses demand otherwise). I did want to mention a few points though. As the screen capture indicates, I increased my typing in Dvorak speed to […]

Well, I’ve been playing around with switching from a Qwerty to Dvorak keyboard for about a week now, and I think the results speak for themselves. I’m just not certain what they’re saying yet. In my unscientific, 3 min typing test, I’m currently at a little over 10% of my Qwerty speed (about 80-85 on this […]
